Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRoad Transport Congestion Costs Calculations Adaptation to Engineering ApproachMarjan Lep, Beno MesarecThe article represents so called "engineering" approach for computing the total road transport congestion costs. According to economic welfare theory, the total costs of transport congestion are defined as dead weight loss (DWL) of infrastructure use. With a set of equations DWL could be formulated in a mathematical way. Because such form of equation is not directly applicable for concrete … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDelay-Conscious Service Quality Constraint in IoT Sensor Networks for Smart FarmingZatin Gupta, Amit Kumar BindalThe Internet of Things (IoT) offers different services for the agriculture industry, such as monitoring and analysing real-time data related to current weather conditions, water level, irrigation requirements, growth of plant disease and health status/temperature/humidity, etc.,). The performance of IoT networks may vary due to environmental conditions and operational areas (rural area/urban area/underwater). These constraints may degrade the transmission quality … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 8 · 9 Aug 2023 · 5,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation and Improvement of Main Road Intersections in Al-Bayda City Using Sidra SoftwareWalid Ahmida, Abdullatif Mohamed, Ashraf Fadiel, Taher Abu-LebdehIntersections are one of the most crucial parts of urban transportation systems since they actively contribute to developing strategies to reduce traffic congestion. Congestion is one of the major issues that intersections face as a result of the growth in traffic, which cause lower service levels and longer waiting time. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2023 · 5,695 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmerging Technologies for Driving Road Safety and Traffic Management for Urban AreaYogesh Golhar, Manali KshirsagarThe on-road traffic increases due to the exponential growth of the number of vehicles on the road. That leads to undesirable road conditions and makes urban population life uncomfortable. It includes traffic congestion, traffic jams and long queues at traffic signals and toll booths. Many people violate road traffic rules and regulations rules every day. Manual human effort and supervision … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 17, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2021 · 6,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards a Generic Multimodal Architecture for Batch and Streaming Big Data IntegrationSiham Yousfi, Maryem Rhanoui, Dalila ChiadmiBig Data are rapidly produced from various heterogeneous data sources. They are of different types (text, image, video or audio) and have different levels of reliability and completeness. One of the most interesting architectures that deal with the large amount of emerging data at high velocity is called the lambda architecture. In fact, it combines two different processing layers namely … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2019 · 7,646 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMapping of Flood Risk Zones in Ala River Basin Akure, NigeriaOlajire Olabanji Olatona, O.A. Obiora-Okeke, J.R. AdewumiFloods are water induced disasters that lead to temporary inundation of dry land and cause serious damages in the affected location such as loss of lives and properties and destruction of infrastructures. Nigeria has experienced a lot of flood incidences and the impact of flood has also increased due to population growth coupled with uncontrolled developmental practices. The result of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2018 · 9,243 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Contribution of Traffic to Air Pollution in the State of KuwaitN. Al-Mutairi, P. KoushkiProblem statement: The reduction in ambient air pollution is a universal goal-particularly in urban areas, the lack of resources often necessitates identification and prioritization of sources of air pollutants. Efficient planning and effective management of environmental pollutants is thus important for optimum utilization of limited resources. Approach: This study examined seven years of data from three air pollution monitoring stations … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Traffic Light Sequence Algorithm Using RFIDKhalid A.S. Al-Khateeb, Jaiz A.Y. Johari, Wajdi F. Al-KhateebProblem statement: Traffic congestion and tidal flow management were recognized as major problems in modern urban areas, which have caused much frustration and loss of man hours. Approach: In order to solve the problem an intelligent RFID traffic control has been developed. It has circumvented or avoided the problems that usually arise with systems such as those, which use image … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 21,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhy Do People Use Their Cars: A Case Study In MalaysiaAbdalla Nurdeen Kamba, Riza Atiq O.K. Rahmat, Amiruddin IsmailIn Malaysia, the rapid increase in the use of own transport prompted by inadequate public transport has resulted in increased traffic congestion, accidents, inadequate parking space and air pollution among other evils. This study sought to identify the factors preventing own transport users from shifting to public transport and to develop model shift from car to public transport in order … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 9,182 accessesView PDFCite
